Rebecca

[Alkmini80]

I love Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine and I LOVE Hitchcock! This is perhaps my favourite film by H., I have watched it so many times..old Hollywood movies were great, thanks to my brother I have watched most of Hitchcock's films...it's strange that old movies had a quality most modern films lack ...

[anitarsenal1989]

Sir Laurence is breathtakingly handsome :)

[CYNLAGASCA]

Olivier is dashing indeed. But if Robert Donat had accepted the role, probably the character of Joan Fontaine would not have been able to get a bite of her scrambled egg, would you? Check out Robert Donat in the 39 Steps and his hot movie with Marlene Dietrich. He's definitely irresistable and his accent matches with Joan's. Joan's amazing in Rebecca. You'd like to watch her scenes over and over again. Only Audrey Hepburn has the same touch as Joan.

[CottonCandy635]

Two Words: Laurence Olivier

[margacat]

aw... I wish Larry -sigh- invited me to his table ;D

[JansRox]

we so exited

[Scoutpower1]

I have this version of "Rebecca". My mother has the 1979 version.

[MeteorFreak87]

*sigh* laurence olivier is so hot. this is the first of his movies i remember seeing, and i've been in love ever since. <3 <3 <3

[GeminiSarahAnne]

I love old Hollywood and I really enjoy watching old movies.

[fightinside1]

I love Joan Fontaine in this movie. She so natural and a such a great actress. You can tell she's really putting herself into the character and not just putting on a show like other actresses.

[jessnic77]

I agree. Too hot for words.

[punksandra]

what's the name of the secound lady de Winter ?

[stoprainingonme]

@punksandra her name is never given i think

[justme19928]

@punksandra I know this comment is old, but I thought I'd add that du Maurier (author of Rebecca) never gave her a name, which holds true to the film as well.

[92af]

Laurence Olivier was a very boring and ridiculous actor

[ItBrandonSilver]

Where's your proof?

Stick to Justin Beiber, idiot.

[tp4ever1950s]

@ItBrandonSilver  justin beibers a fag

[BJORT]

@92af you obviously don't know very much about acting. Larry si considered to be the greatest actor of all time by many including me.

[kthevsd]

@92af HUH ? Olivier is a legend, to this day he's remembered as one of the best ever.

[hansakalie]

What is this movie about? It looks interesting

[WaterPhoenix1516]

@hansakalie Watch it and find out. ;)

You might like it, I know I did.

[zzheavensdoor]

Joan Fontaine looks so like Julie Christie. Never noticed it before. Great film. Great book. Can never understand why Daphne Du Maurier is not more widely recognized as a truly superior writer. Her other book "My Cousin Rachel" is outstanding too.

[Liz86000]

Love that movie...

[tsuhig]

Eu amo Joan Fontaine.

Ela é linda, extraordinária atriz.

Em outro plano irei conhece-la !

[OnlyMusic16]

Huge Rebecca fan- the book was spectacular!

Joan Fontaine quite frankly was the best thing in this film! I loved her, she played the main character so well! Great actress.

[AspiringScoundrel]

She's delightful...

[marym499]

I love this movie, I watch it everytime it's on TV.

[DrinkWater22]

I am so glad Hitchcock went with Joan Fontaine over Vivian Leigh. She's so much better as The Second Mrs. De Winter.

[rockchick80s]

Watched it on TV again - still takes my breath away - Joan Fontaine - niave/bumbling/inadequate - Lawrence Olivier - so worldly wise/sauve/sophisticated - add in Judith Anderson as the faithful/dedicated mad bitch and it's an amazing recipe. Love it.

[mehmus]

the book is absolutely brilliant.. so is the film.. I wish they weren't so sharp and dramatic though.. would've been nicer.. love the bit where he says "eat your food like a good girl" lol

[diewithdeadthoughts]

I have to compare this movie by alfred hitchcock to the book, for school. i thought of looking how hitchcock shows the unsecurity of he protagonist ... but I'm not sure if it's good..i have to write 10 pages...oO what do you think? please help me...

[jstardude]

I had to read this book for english and thought it was going to be soooo gay but its so good! i can't put it down. looking forward to seeing the rest of this movie :D

[fairies47]

Wonderful book by Daphné du Maurier! I love it! And great movie! Ah, Laurence Olivier!

[Classic1940s]

Oh, yes! I saw the movie a few months before reading book, and instantly fell in love with both! :)

[kusoheadexe]

luv this film, eventhough i was born in the 90s :)

watched it in film studies

[Dereniti27]

i love Olivier, I love this film, i love Hitchcock!

aaahhh Lawrence was definitely a nice man!:-)

[BeccySchatziLolli]

der clip oder was das auch darstellen soll heißt wie i.hihi is des funny

xDDD

[BatCatherine]

Stell dir vor, es gibt auch einen Roman (der im Übrigen die Vorlage für den Film war) und ein Musical (dessen Vorlage ebenfalls der Roman ist) namens Rebecca. ~.~

[ohrmets]

Haha, Olivier's character is kind of a dick in this movie.

[dianaberry1993]

i love this movie!!! it is so romantic, he is also very cute!

[optimisticfail]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!

[thegoldenera]

I love the narration preceding. Just word for word like the book. Great movie. Love it. Thanks.

[clearly]

Last night I dream't I went to Manderley again !

[larissam24]

esse filme é lindíssimo... nada deixa a desejar do livro de mesmo nome.

[tunapup12]

One of my fav. flims of all time

[rttoronto]

wow, what a beautiful man...

[plumshine]

olivier is too hot for words

[cliu91]

have you watched him in King Lear?

[dianaberry1993]

he is gorgeous!

[velocikat]

You've got that right! He is a knockout!

Ahhh....*sigh* :-)

[LadyUne021283]

This has been my one of my favorite movies sense I was eight and it still is at my age of twenty-five.

[moonflower0924]

Joan did awesome!

[gos11387]

I couldnt believe I got hooked on to this movie at age 15! it was so intriguing!!!

[StupidFoolLady]

HAA/ It's the 1 movie with Sir Laurence which i've seen. And then He became my BEST...

Love it very much..

[mahsabarghi]

i love this movie.so its a beauty film.

[Steffi96]

I really love this movie and I love Laurence Olivier. He was the greatest actor ever

[magenta1000]

I love this movie!

I just bought the video used for $2! I wish the DVD was easier to find, though. I'd prefer that....D:

[Beexautiful]

My favurite ever film my mam used towatch this when she was pregnant with me and this is how she came to pick my name =D!!

[sobe22bune]

i absolutly LOVE this movie!

[mnimjo]

I love this Movie.

[babydmusicdiva89]

i luvvvv dis movie def one of my favs ~ Laurence Olivier is o so sexy!!

[NGS712]

I first saw this in school, most of the kids hated it party 'cause it was in black and white. CRETINS!!! ;)

[calybdis]

Really, they hated it simply because it was black and white?

Ugh, that's pretty dumb. There are so many awsome movies that are black and white!

[NGS712]

caly: Well that was part of it, but I think it was because it was an old movie as well.

In their minds, "B&W=Old movie=boring"

I agree, there are MANY B&W films which are classics. Mr. Smith is one of my particular favorites! ;)

[calybdis]

I see. Usual simplification.

I have countless favs that are B&W, too! the best of Chaplin (Gold Rush, The Dictator), Eisenstein (Nevsky, Potemkin, Rubljov), Orson Welles (Citizen Kane, plz!), Ingmar Bergman (Seventh Seal), Casablanca -this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship lol

These just came into my mind.

Oh and of course my fav from Hitchcock is also B&W! lol

And Olivier's Hamlet? That's also B&W.

I think I've written tooooo much. lol

But hey, I'm in love w/ good movies!

[NGS712]

caly: 'But hey, I'm in love w/ good movies!'

It seems too few people do these days.

[calybdis]

Well, you're right. Everybody's into the incomes a film can produce. Which most of the times has nothing to do w/ artistic value.

But if you think of Griffith's Intolerance - which IS a masterpiece, but was a flop to say the least - ppl had a huge twist in their taste back in the B&W days, too.

I just say it as consolation... lol

(And no wonder it simply upsets me, that I can't buy this masterpiece of hitchcock on dvd!urghhh)

[NGS712]

caly: I believe it's on YT. I say it as consolation ;)

Seriously, it is.

What about Griffith's 'Birth of a Nation', popular and big budget yet HIGHLY controversial.

[calybdis]

I know, I watched it. :) But I'd prefer it on dvd. My eyes hurt if I watch the computer monitor that long. :(

I wouldn't mention Intolerance and Birth of a nation in one sentence: the former is inarguably a great movie (even w/ its naivity). You can forgive him Birth of a nation if you watch Intolerance. IMO.

[NGS712]

caly: I thought Birth of a Nation was interesting and I occaisionally have watched it. Only twice. I don't agree w/ the racism at all, but I find it interesting to watch.

[calybdis]

I wouldn't say Birth of a Nation is not interesting. But "problematic".

You don't have these kind of contradictions in Intolerance.

Of course, as a film director Griffith did a great job in B of a N, too. But Intolerance just has it all! No wonder so many great directors (I would say: the best of them)refer to Intolerance as a basic piece of film art.

[NGS712]

caly: I assume Intolerance is on DVD, right?

[calybdis]

I have it on VHS. In my country it isn't on dvd and I couldn't find it on amazon either (only used ones).

:(

[natsgirlbecky]

what country do u live in then

[calybdis]

Why do you ask this?

[natsgirlbecky]

well... i actually dont no

i just wanted to no if u lived in the U.S.

i never searched for this movie to buy it so i just assumed u did not live in the U.S.

(by the way, thats the country i live in)i dont really no why i asked that question really

i guess i just felt like typing so u dont have to answer that question if u dont want to

[NGS712]

caly: Well, they've got Birth of a Nation on DVD, so I'd assume it is as well.

[calybdis]

I checked it. Last time it (Intolerance) was released in 2002.

Then it was also released in my country. But now it's out of stock, here and on big internet stores, too.

Same story w/ Citizen Kane. Last release in 2002 - and now out of stock.

[NGS712]

caly: Citizen Kane? Now, that's just ridiculous.

[calybdis]

What do you mean by "it's ridiculous"?

That it was released so long ago, or...?

No wonder it's out of stock, don't you think?

[NGS712]

caly: I meant that it's ridiculous that such a great and well-known film is 'out of stock'.

[calybdis]

Yeah, I know... :(

And what do you say about Battleship Potemkin? Last time it was released in 1998.

(The No1 movie on the Berliner 12 w/ the most quoted scene in film history)

Now as I see it was re-released last year - but available only in US and Canada. I only hope that this year I can buy it at home.

Anyway: it shows that film classics are re-released only every 10 year.

Which means we have to wait for Citizen Kane for another 4 years...:-(

[NGS712]

caly: I have never seen Potemkin.

Also, I think I saw a copy of Citizen Kane in Barnes and Noble about a year or more ago.

[calybdis]

You can buy Citizen Kane in internet stores. Bust most of them are not shipping to every european countries.

And I would like one w/ Hungarian options. (Not that I don't understand English, but it would be better to have an English-Hungarian version. Now THAT is totally out of stock. All dvds were sold right after its publication in 2003)

You can watch the part I was refering at here on YT.

Search "battleship potemkin - odessa steps scene".

[NGS712]

caly: I have seen that part. Very well done. Can only imagine how it would be in sound.

[calybdis]

The whole scene is so expressive, it doesn't need sounds or colours (just to refer to you very 1st comment, lol).

Have you seen any of Eisenstein's movies? Ivan the terrible or Nevsky?

There is one scene from nevsky w/ the original music (not like Odessa). search.Aleksandr Nevsky (the best was sent by notbot). Amazing w/ Prokofiev's music written exactly to that scene. And it's not a silent movie. Worth watching! This is how you use a 13th century event for propaganda against the nazis.

[NGS712]

caly: Citizen Kane? Now, that's just ridiculous.

[thatdrattedcat]

mmm... the Seventh Seal. That's a movie that's on my neverending list to watch

[meladorimagpie]

Laurence Olivier...oooooooooh, hot stuff

[KDJADEDGLORY]

So suave, so sure. Lovely book and awesome movie. He is not old enough though. Love this movie. Thankyou so much for posting.

[katyjane04]

This is my all-time fav movie....what a guy!!! why is there not any guys like that these days!!!!!!

[KDJADEDGLORY]

She is so kiddish. I busted out laughing when she said the definition of companion.

[LukeLovesRose]

Somebody actually said that this beat out Citizen Kane at the Oscars. It's a great film, but it came out before Kane. Duh! I just think it's insulting that Hitch never won Best Director.

[Leanne60]

perfection, suspense, drama, ambience, mystery, love story, it has it all, and dreamy laurence olivier. danny one of the best woman villains ever.

[JSG1951]

Mrs. Van "HEFFER" and "Mrs." Danvers should've gotten together... but, I don't want to watch! ;-)

[omnivos]

I believe Alfred Hitchcock perfected the cinematography of this film. The images are so rich in detail and depth you forget this is a black and white film. Simply Amazing!!

[catsmeow89]

Why, I just watched this today on Turner Classic Movies!

[superlarrio]

im related to Laurence Olivier! distantly... :D

[rachel7036]

Such a talented and handsome man he was!

[velocikat]

I agree, lonelygirlthomas! God, he was so hot in this film!

[lonelygirlthomas]

"I'm asking You to marry me, You silly little fool!". Ohh, how could any girl refuse?

[catsmeow89]

Exactly! So handsome, he makes my heart and stomach flutter!

[beatlesfan4evr]

im going to rent this movie...looks great.

[manolinmanolon]

One of my favorite films

[MsBabes]

from where did you find the film??

[crystalclear999]

This is one of my all time fav movies.Great movie and great book. It was the first film I bought and is still my fav version of the book.

[JSG1951]

Joan was wonderful in this film.Everyone is so rude to her in this film.I love the scenes of her with Mrs.Danvers-total louse!!The funny scene is Mrs.Danvers obsessing about Rebeccas fur, underwear and nighty to a terrified Joan.

[MintyPonse]

Absolutely love Rebecca, Absolutely love the book and film, Absolutely love Joan

[Cagney888]

Great movie! - and book.  Thanks for posting!

[Riob420]

This is the picture that made me fall in love with Joan

[amazinglyace]

depending on where you're from the film is quite easy to come by! I am from the uk and had no trouble finding it on the internet.

[GuitarGirl506]

im THIRTEEN and i love the book rebecca! i hope i get to see the movie sometime

[SummerVoyager]

This movie has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. Thanks for uploading this!

[MechatronicsProf]

I would've fallen in love with her, too. She's everything Rebecca wasn't.

[Rebecca8girl9]

I really love them in this scene!Ther're both so lovely! Thanks for posting! By the way,I'm 18 and I share your passion about the film and the book!

[princesskaitlyn524]

I'm 16 years old, and I love the book "Rebecca" The suspense is fabulous. And, the way the book ended, fabulous! xoox

[creamofcardstv]

I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out my new clip of 1930's cigarette cards of Laurence Olivier, George Formby, Errol Flynn, Gracie Fields, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Fred Astaire, and Vivien Leigh.

[edymull]

you can buy the movie on Amazon

[PinkytheAxe]

I've always wanted to see this movie, but could never find a copy of it. Oh well, thanks for putting up the clip!

[edymull]

Judith Anderson is the star of this movie with her portrayal of Mrs Danvers. Andereson was nominated for the academy which I believed she received but have since out that Jane Darwell got it for The Grapes of Wrath another of my top ten movies.

[Johindes]

Thank you so much for posting this, its my fave book / film ever.

[jazzbobrown]

My God -haven't seen this movie since I saw it on tv more than 30 years ago ...I didn't remember Joan Fontaine that lovely -and wow how she looks like her sister Olivia (de Havilland)...

[rainbowDementia]

Some people think that it's weird for a 16-year-old girl to adore this movie the way I do. But god--how amazing; I wish I could be given the chance to read the book!

[RubyTuesday717]

You're not alone--I'm 17 with a passion for old movies, especially black-and-white screwball comedies and film noirs. I'd love to major in film history/theory, but there's not really a job market for them. This is one of Hitchcock's best films, hands down.

[MoccaMaster]

Thanks for posting video. I love the book and remains my favorite overall. The new Mrs de Winter in the film is much lovelier than I had imagined.

[taptwinkletoes]

A great clip from my most favorite film.

[bookparadise]

Love this movie. It's in my top 10 best films ever. Joan Fontaine's portrayal of the second Mrs. de Winter was brilliant.

[Rosebud04]

Post the scene where Mrs. de Winter visits Rebecca's room.
